SnapServer DX1

Features

DynamicRAID^® – A Brand New Spin on Managing Disks

Don’t limit yourself to the features of traditional RAID. With the combination of DynamicRAID and SnapServer your protection is automatically optimized for redundancy and capacity without manual intervention. Add or replace SnapServer hard drives at any time to expand existing storage pools and take advantage of drive size mismatches without wasting space.

High availability is further delivered with fully redundant, hot-swappable components such as power supplies, fan modules, battery backup modules, and SAS expansion ports.

Revolutionary Volume Management – Let GuardianOS^® Do the Heavy Lifting

Forget about provisioning. Create limitless volumes on your SnapServer DX Series and they will automatically share the available space in the disk storage pool; this means that volumes will only occupy as much space as their data requires, leaving space available to other volumes on demand. Storage volumes can also automatically grow and shrink as needed, and administrators can assign optional quotes to control volume sizes across the storage pool.

Unified Storage – Freedom of Choice

Consolidate your storage by hosting both block and file level data on your SnapServer NAS system. Utilize common networking protocols for file sharing, collaboration and backup, or host database storage and virtualized servers on SnapServer iSCSI LUNs simultaneously.

Advanced Security – Intelligence Matters

The SnapServer can provide local security for small infrastructures or join larger networks that include complex security policies. With full integration into Windows Active Directory domains, UNIX domains, and cross-compatibility for mixed security environments, the SnapServer allows you to maintain consistent permissions for users with multiple system types, with minimal intervention, across your business infrastructure.

Expansion – to 288TB and Beyond

Grow your SnapServer storage pools by adding drives to existing DynamicRAID sets, or expand by attaching the external, 2U, 12-bay SnapExpansion chassis. Pay as you grow without buying more storage than you need at any given time with SnapServer NAS. Scale a single SnapServer up to 288TB while maintaining simple, provisioning-free management.

Writable snapshot supports allows for a flexible test environment without putting your critical data at risk and without the need to do a complete volume copy of the data to test applications under development or for piloting purposes.

Replication with SnapEDR™ – Across the Hall or Across the Globe

Prepare for disaster recovery with Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (Snap EDR). With Snap EDR you can automatically replicate files between SnapServers, Windows, Linux, UNIX and Macintosh servers. Built for globally distributed businesses, Snap EDR will ensure that your files are moved off-site safely and securely.
